How to choose the right contraception?

If you are sexually active, you must protect yourself against pregnancy. 

There are many options at your disposal and each one of them comes with pros and cons. Choose the contraception that suits you best. 

• Ask yourself questions like ‘do I want to think about it every day?’ or ‘do I want to be able to plan when I get my period?’ or ‘ do I want birth control with or without hormones?’
• Talk with friends to get some ideas. However, even if a certain method works well for them, it doesn’t mean it is the best choice for you. Selecting the right contraceptive is a personal decision.
• Talk with your doctor or clinician. Go through the available options and determine which solution fits your needs, lifestyle and health history.
